Summer vacation
It’s a good feeling! I woke up late, the kids kept themselves busy, and I made my cup of coffee. I’m sipping on my java as I type this blog entry. It’s all good! It’s my day off. I have no schedules, no appointments. I can relax. I can choose to do anything I wish or just be plain lazy! This is a rarity!
This is a weird feeling! The home is fairly quite…I’m not having to rush to get the boys ready for school! The routine is broken. The alarm did not ring. Strange. I almost am at a lost! Funny! I am drawn to this blog to write my thoughts and feelings.
The rush of life that I knew lately has quited! I am sure that it will be replaced by the summer schedule (there you go, foreknowledge that seems to be a part of all of us)! But for now, for this moment, there is a respite–a vacation!
Respite is defined by Webster as a “period of temporary delay,” an interval of rest or relief.” How often have I cried for such a time? I have tried and tried to schedule a vacation, to simply find out that I needed a vacation from my vacation. Today is different. I face a period of temporary delay, an interval of rest or relief. And the strangest thing has happened, I don’t know what to do! Is it possible that in the midst of a cacophany of voices, the rush of schedules, and things to do, that we are caught off guard with respite? Strange, that in the midst of all we long for, we are clueless!
David says to us, “Be still and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10) God gives us respite! God is respite!
Today, can I be still enough to enjoy a respite? I choose to know God as respite!
I am reveling at the moment…sucking in all that God has for me…enjoying my time with Respite…
